The project consisted of two goals: to design and fabricate SAW sensors on lithium niobate chips with the best resolution photolithography in CMi and to study as many different devices as possible during the first fabrication runs to find the best layouts ...
Grippers, currently used in Industry, are not suited for clean room application. Thus, a novel type of smart gripper is being designed using Shape Memory Alloys (SMA). In the development of this Smart Gripper, the modelling of the material is quite critica ...
The built environment is one of the major contributors of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To tackle climate change, global targets have been set for this sector. Although life-cycle assessment (LCA) methods are typically used to evaluate a building project ...
Changes in building design during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have been largely focussed on driving safety and reducing capital expenditure, with less attention given to improvements in building energy efficiency. However, energy efficiency in ...

The talk addresses space and its project in the contemporary urban/climatic condition. In the transition occurring, new tools and ideas are needed and the traditional ones are there to be questioned. On the basis of a set of recent design experiences, the ...
This paper discusses the advantages of using a coding interface both to describe form and run performance simulations in the context of architectural design. It outlines the relevance of combining recent interest in the design community for parametric scri ...
This contribution gives a review of our results characterizing the propagation in lossy biological tissues. These results were mainly obtained using a simplified spherical model allowing a description in spherical wave decomposition. This model is of cours ...
The need for sustainable architecture and urban design and planning has long been acknowledged, along with the necessity for adequate, early-phase guiding instruments. This paper aims at exploring the effectiveness and usability of a novel decision-support ...
Contactless power transfer using inductive coupling is a well-known way to transfer energy from a transmitter to a receiver without any physical link. The applications are multiple. In this paper, the design and control of such a system for a contactless b ...
“Introduction to Civil and Environmental Engineering Design I” is a sophomore-level class, required of Civil and Environmental Engineering (C EE) majors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The main objective of this class is to teach studen ...
